The Swede Eriksson stated that the illness he suffers from has given him a life expectancy of one year at most and that one of his pending issues in football was never being able to coach the English Liverpool team, which is currently leading the Premier League season.

Sven Goran Eriksson is a fan of the Liverpool team
“It was very shocking news,” said Jürgen Klopp. “It was the first time I heard his admiration and love for Liverpool and that he had been a fan all his life.

“Being on the bench can be a little more difficult, but having him here and teaching him everything that this club has developed over the years, I think that is something we can do,” added Klopp, who has been the coach since 2015. of the ‘Reds’.
In recent days, Liverpool fans gathered signatures for Sven Goran Eriksson to be the team’s coach in a match between legends that will be played in March. Klopp confirmed that he cannot do anything about it because he is not in charge.
